THE hunt is on to uncover the identity of a group of factory

workers in a new comedy video posted on YouTube.

A dozen overall and hard hat-cloaked workers are filmed

performing a minute-long tribute to comic Benny Hill in an

unidentified factory in North Staffordshire.

It is the third film posted by a user identified as

valiantdemon featuring the men in the deserted factory.

The first film featured the workers performing a version of

the 80s dance hit The Conga and wearing little more than hard

hats, boots and balloons, while a second paid homage to The

Timewarp.

Comments on those videos suggested the films were shot at

Rockwood Pigments in Kidsgrove, although the company declined

to comment when approached by The Sentinel last

year.
